It sounds like they act as a broker and do not manage the property once you buy it.1) is that correct, or am I seeing bad reviews from a disgruntled minority? 

I am having difficulty finding reviews though.

After that, run the background and credit check, verify their income by reviewing the financial documents they provide, and contact their employer to confirm their employment.

Let me know if I need to move it or send to your "Build your team" team.Dave It's well known by now that the Bigger Pockets referral scheme is lackluster at best; garbage at worst.You should just go to some local REI groups or browse Yelp for CPA reviews. 

Also, I'm not sure if you're on the ProjectionLab Discord, but there's often customers looking for advisors using ProjectionLab to review their plan.

I am sure there are qualified people to train you, but I would warn you to have anything Pace Morby or anyone else teaches reviewed by your attorney.  

My suggestion would be to select someone with the most forum posts or most reviews.

Also, local real estate agents can also be a goldmine for off-market deals since they often hear about them before anyone else.As for property management, researching and looking at online reviews are a good start, but a real insider tip?

Building housing is subject to a significant array of regulatory costs, including a broad range of fees, permits, reviews, and other requirements imposed at different stages of the development and the construction process, with both a direct cost and a time/delay cost.

Some great resources would be here on BP, passive pockets, SEC edgar site (for example you can review Regulation A fund offerings as well as their financial statements to understand how to read audited financials).
